Madison, Wisconsin is getting direct flights between itself and New York City. The home of the University of Wisconsin has a contingent of 3,000 students that hail from New York. It also is a vibrant research community that will prosper with the ability of investors gaining easier access to the city. This is a big win for the Madison community.

County Executive Kathleen Falk said the flight would be a boon for area business and academics.
“Most of the venture capital in the country is on the coasts and to have nonstop access for those venture capitalists to come here and meet with our companies, get to know them, fund them, it’s very important,” said UW Chancellor John Wiley.
